Innate talent!! Killing intent surged...

Help!!

"Someone, hurry! Save us!"

High-pitched screams like those of pigs being slaughtered echoed throughout the canyon, tinged with hoarseness and sobs.

Their foreheads had been gashed, and blood blurred their vision.

He Qing'er and He Ling'er could not have been in a sorrier state.

Hell could hardly have been worse.

Before they could make it back to the village, they had felt the ground shaking.

When they ran onto a boulder to look into the distance, the two young maidens had turned pale with fright.

Flocks of birds and herds of beasts surged toward them as though they had gone mad.

Without a second thought, He Qing'er and He Ling'er had taken to their heels without looking back.

Along the way, they had fallen quite a few times.

Their bodies were covered in bruises. Although some skin had been exposed, they could hardly be called "eye-catching" at that moment.

Meanwhile, hearing the screams from nearby, Yu Ziyu froze in a rare moment of surprise.

"Have you set your sights on me?"

With a cold laugh, Yu Ziyu sent every one of his branches whipping through the air.

However, he paid no attention to those two familiar figures.

Rather than those two women, Yu Ziyu focused all his attention on the beast tide.

In nature, the fittest survived.

Only things that posed a threat to him deserved his attention.

As for those two women...

Sorry, but from the looks of things, he might not even be able to protect himself.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

His branches whipped through the air like an octopus's eight tentacles, faintly whistling as they cut through it.

What was truly frightening, however, was that these branches were slowly lengthening... In just a few breaths, branches originally only a dozen or so meters long had grown to over twenty meters.

[Innate talent: Super regeneration-a terrifying talent unique to plants that greatly increased regeneration speed. Even if relatively fragile parts such as branches were damaged, they could regenerate in an instant by drawing on the power surging within the body.]

However, if used effectively, this innate talent could greatly accelerate the growth of his branches, extending Yu Ziyu's attack range to its maximum.

Of course, the price was a temporary weakening of Yu Ziyu's regenerative ability.

And that happened to be a price Yu Ziyu could afford. He would not even mind using this rather useful talent repeatedly to maximize the increase in his attack range.

"I admit that I do hold a fatal allure for certain animals."

"But does that mean trash like you can set your sights on me too?"

As he murmured, Yu Ziyu laughed.

His laughter was rather cold, and every branch of his willow body swayed with it.

Then, a chilling killing intent slowly spread.

Yet just then, as though sensing danger, many of the wild beasts faltered slightly.

"Roar..."

"Screech..."

"Hiss, hiss..."

Their strange and varied cries were filled with unease and agitation.

Unfortunately, that irresistible allure ultimately consumed everything within them.

Thus, despite vaguely sensing danger, these beasts, already blinded by instinct, continued charging forward with roars and howls.

But just then...

"Whoosh!"

Like a rising gust, a red phantom suddenly flashed past.

A moment later...

"Rip!"

Amid a crisp sound like silk being torn, a column of blood shot into the sky.

At the same time, a Red Fox nearly the size of a calf, her red fur streaming as though she were bathed in flames, appeared silently beside the wild boar's corpse.

Licking the blood from her sharp claws, Red Fox slowly raised her eyes, her body already bending into a bow once more.

What awaited her was another round of hunting.

"Screech, screech, screech..."

Piercing cries tore through the clouds.

High above, streaks of light plunged down one after another.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

Even without using their full strength, the impact of speeds comparable to a high-speed train gave the Peregrine Falcons unparalleled killing power.

Almost instantly, eight beasts had been pierced through, leaving holes as wide as the mouth of a bowl.

Admittedly, Bullet Dive had certain side effects.

But as long as they remained within what these Peregrine Falcons could endure, their Bullet Dive was enough to become the deadliest of weapons.

No beast could withstand a single strike.

If one could, they would pierce it at an even greater speed, until their "master" was no longer threatened.

The loyalty of birds of prey to their master was no empty saying.

If necessary, they would not even mind sacrificing everything.

"Good, good..."

Amid his repeated praise, Yu Ziyu could not help being lost for words.

Sure enough, some animals truly were worth nurturing.

With that thought, his countless branches extended toward the sky.

Immediately afterward...

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

Like raindrops, countless branches fell from the sky in an instant.

"Rip, rip, rip..."

Amid one piercing sound after another, blood splashed everywhere.

At the same time, a series of cold system notifications sounded in Yu Ziyu's ears.

"Ding, you killed a sparrow. Evolution points +0.1."

"Ding, you killed a bee. Evolution points +0.1."

"Ding, you killed a mutated sparrow. Evolution points +1."

Time for updates!

One update first, then another in the early morning. At noon, if I'm awake, another one... Extra updates will come at irregular times in the afternoon and evening...

Three thousand flowers earn an extra update, and five tips earn another.

This is a promise I've kept in my heart.

Although Crimson never said it outright, now that those milestones have been reached, Crimson will definitely work hard...

O(∩_∩)O.

Oh, right, Crimson can't reply to comments because my level isn't high enough. When the time comes, I'll find a friend or ask someone else to help reply.
